Later Rahul Gandhi shared a selfie with his mother and Chairperson of Congress Parliamentary Party Sonia Gandhi with their inked fingers.

"Mother and I contributed to this great festival of democracy by casting our votes. All of you should also come out of your homes in large number and vote for your rights and future of your family," Rahul Gandhi posted on X.

He said, "In the first five phases of voting, you have rejected lies hatred and propaganda and gave priority to ground-level issues related to your lives".

He further said that every vote will ensure the youth get jobs, poor women are made financially stable, farmers get fair MSP for their crops and made debt-free, labourers get the minimum daily wage of Rs 400.
